I just rooted my phone today, and got an error.

I try to do ClockworkMod or recovery boot, and what happens is I get an error saying I don't have permission. Even when I try to updated su on superuser.

Which Root method did you use to root your phone, and did you have any errors while rooting it ? depending on what method you used to root your phone i would suggest asking a question in the method thread used.

I would suggest you download this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Its a stock, rooted ROM with the latest updates.
Rename it PD98IMG.zip and put on the root of your SD card.
Pull your battery, then replace it...boot into hboot (vol down + Power)...if you're Radio S-Off, it should flash this image and you'll be stock rooted.
Once you get that flashed and loaded...you should have no problems with ROM Manager or SuperUser.
Just be sure you're Radio S-Off and it will say that at the top of your screen when you enter hboot.
It sounds like to me that you didn't load the upgrade ROM using bubby's one click. In other words...you thought you were complete but not quite.

If you want sideloading then download the second option...once this is on your phone you should be able to hear again.
Like I said...I suspect you didn't quite complete the rooting process...or something went wrong.

One has "unknown sources" option available to load 3rd party apps.
The other doesn't...if you want to be able to download 3rd party apps then download from the link with SL in the title.

you can straight download it to the root of your SDcard...but you'll still have to rename it PD98IMG.zip before you can load it through hboot.
If you did bubby's one click...then you should be familiar with this step.

Turn phone off, then I reboot, then what do I do?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

not reboot...boot into the bootloader. Remember this won't work if your not S-off.
Boot into hboot...then let it find and load the PD98IMG.zip.
Then it will ask you to upgrade. Volume up to say yes...then let it do its thing.
Easy as pie....
are you sure you used bubby's one click?
It does this step twice during the process.

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I see...
There's a sticky at the top of this forum that will answer all that.

Surprise, surprise.
This is what happens when you don't do a little research before trying to do something like this.
All of the advice given to you in those threads went in one ear and out the other.
Seriously, what's your aversion to reading? You're reading these posts answering your questions, right?
I don't mind helping people, with the limited knowledge I've gained here so far, but this is a prime example of why people flame and get pissed at new users.
Now please, go read and try again when you have a basic understanding of your phone.

Lol. If I'm trolling then you're spamming.
The help you seek is in the stickied guide in this section. It's in the faq for the root method you used.
It's in the thread of the root method you used, and 500 trillion other posts that you would discover if you searched.
Now you want people to repeat the same answers, yet again, to you, when you were advised to do some preparation before doing this.
I wouldn't be so bothered if I hadn't seen this one coming a mile away.

[Root] gingerbreak.apk (easy root)

For everyone like me thats having trouble with Super One Click freezing during root, you can also root your phone by installing GINGERBREAK on your phone.
Gingerbreak.apk can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
1. Download the latest version from your phone or PC.
1a. If you download from your PC, adb install or just copy to your sd card.
2. Make sure you have Unknown Sources and USB Debugging checked in Settings>Applications
3. Browse to the file using any file explorer and install.
4. Open the app and just click ROOT.
5. Let it do its work and reboot. Once back up, you will be rooted
ENJOY
Devs if this has already been posted and i missed it, feel free to remove or close this thread.

Has anyone had success using this on G2X? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere or on the gingerbreak thread. Thanks.

Yup. I used this without problem. Follow the instructions. Ensure the md5 sums are always the same (like the instructions say... but worth repeating) and you should be good.

I rooted yesterday using the guide in the development section. I never used adb before but it wasnt bad at all. I just followed the guide and watched a video on youtube as I went along. Now I have adb set up and I feel more educated in the world of android. I say go for it. Main thing is CHECK ALL MD5 SUMS~!.. and you will be fine.

[WINDOWS] [UNLOCK BOOTLOADER] Verizon - 0 / Humanity - 1 [AUTO][Batch][SGSIII]

Method derived from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769411
IF YOU TAKE AN OTA AFTER DOING THIS AND VERIZON/SAMSUNG DECIDE TO UPDATE BOOTLOADER
IT COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE
THANKS TO ADAM OUTLER FOR HIS DISCOVERY ON HOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
I DID NOT COME UP WITH THIS, JUST A WAY FOR NOOBS LIKE ME TO DO IT ON WINDOWS EASILY!
*** MUST BE ROOTED
*** MUST HAVE USB DRIVERS FOR SGS III INSTALLED
*** VERIZON ONLY !!!!
MD5
Code:
aboot.img 0BA9AD45FC15CF3D62AF7DD363686B3F
stockboot.img 149B318C76A3EEFD495FCFA98BCDAF28
NOTES:
1. No responsibility taken for bricks. sorry.
2. This is confirmed working on my device and many others
3. Restore method taken away.
4. The bootloader used in unlock is from adam outlers method
5. How do you know it worked ? Samsung splash screen is blazing fast when unlocked and phone boots faster
opposite when locked, right now thats the only way besides actually trying to flash something like a kernel.
Download zip here
HOW TO UNLOCK:
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
1. menu > settings > develop options > (unplug phone) > usb debugging > ok > (plug in phone)
[USB DEBUGGING HAS TO BE CHECKED !]
2. If you are not rooted, get rooted first !
3. download the zip and extract somewhere you will be able to find it
4. pick option 1 and your done
I removed the restore to stock, because it was causing problems, however if you want to restore your backup that the program makes simply run this from command line
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/bootloader_backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
or in terminal emulator
Code:
su -c "dd if=/sdcard/bootloader_backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
IMPORTANT NOTES: YOU CAN NOW RESTORE BOOTLOADER COMING FROM ANY OTHER METHOD [/SIZE]

Yes I wonder too. As in warranty return needed, can we go back or is there evidence it'd be locked for good.

I thought to reverse all that was needed was to flash the stock files through ODIN, or is this method different than Adams?

Do you mean the passkey? If so, it's eixplained in the "effin' manual" that comes with AAHK. Make sure you read the entire thing carefully.

I use Linux, so I'm not 100% certain about Macs (though it should be similar). But at least in Linux, it asks for your password because the script uses sudo. It's asking for password of the user currently logged in, so as to give the program administrative rights.

There is another method, the HTCDEV method, which is detailed in the PDF in post #7 in the "need help?" link in my signature (admittedly, a little roundabout). However, be warned that AAHK is above and beyond my recommended option. HTCDEV unlock can be detected, making rooting detectable even after you go back to stock (for warranty purposes). AAHK is completely reversible. It also makes the entire flashing process easier and gives you more ROM choice. For more detail, take a look at that link.
If you have absolutely no way to get your password, I would recommend that you try an Ubuntu LiveCD instead of using your Mac. It will let you run AAHK with sudo.

In short, HTCDEV only lets you flash ACE (Desire HD and Inspire 4G) ROMs, but not ROMs ported from other devices. Also, it adds an additional step to flashing any new ROM (you need to run a fastboot command from your computer with your phone connected). AAHK gives you S-OFF, giving you more complete control over your phone and letting you flash any ROM (including ported ones) without that extra step.

Alright got root and JellyTime on my phone. I bought this phone from EBay and havent activated it with AT&T yet. Will having root and a custom ROM prevent me from having it activated?

There is no way to do it without the risk of getting stuck. If you get stuck, you will be in troubles to get back to a working state. Fix the volume rocker first and then do the Hacking...
